Not a bad idea. You can probably strip and paint that entire C-152 for
under $2,000 in materials. If you're not comfortable holding a spray gun,
you can get an auto body guy to spray it in your garage. Or, even better,
most decent size towns have a few spray booths that can be rented on
weekends. I painted my own plane, but found several individuals who would
have sprayed it for a nominal (cash) donation IF I did all the prep work.

Vigorously shop it. I've heard there are a few who will slap some
paint on for about $3K. You may want to inquire of some of the
airplane brokers (sorry for the foul language) and dealers in your
area. They'll know who the deal makers are.
